The poet's art is revealed in stages in this "making-of" book, where we watch as poems take shape - first as dreams or memories, then as drafts, and finally as completed works set loose on the world. In the long poem "Must We Mean What We Say", a woman reader narrates in prose the circumstances behind poems and snippets of poems she receives in letters from a stranger. Who made up whom?

With the same brilliant wit and biting realism that made Love Poems for Married People, Love Poems for People with Children, and Love Poems for Anxious People such hits, John Kenney is back with a brand new collection that tackles the hilarity of life in the office. From waiting in line for the printer and revising spreadsheet after spreadsheet, to lukewarm coffee, office politics, and the daily patterns of your most annoying - and lovable - coworkers, Kenney masterfully captures the warmth and humor of working the "9 to 5" in today's modern era.

D. Nurkse’s immigrant parents met on a boat out of Europe in 1940; he was a child of the generation whose anxieties were forged in the shadow of Hiroshima and the aftermath of WWII. His poems extend that child’s dignified ignorance into an open encounter with the cataclysms of the latter twentieth century and with family structures.

A lively and imaginative debut, Neoteny explores blindness, family, and birdsong. In these poems, Emily K. Michael meditates on literary and personal heroes like Jo March, her beloved grandmother, and her guide dog. This collection is rich with treasures from childhood - the honey-colored piano Michael played, the fig tree in her front yard, and the trays of fresh mint drying on her grandmother's table.

The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who, in three distinct and significant life events, feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself, rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been—a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman. A resurrected woman!

And what she discovers about herself and her life leave her awake, breathless, surrounded by Kleenex, and learning from trees.

With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a girl who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls.

I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.

58 poemas Desde los primeros versos a la pequeña Aitana, a una sucesión de cantos para las amistades, para quienes sobreviven a un mundo en el que los vivos parecen estar muertos, parecemos estarlo, y vamos acumulando la misma muerte, o muertes distintas, como si fuera un objeto de consumo, un producto más, convirtiéndonos también nosotros mismos en productos de una descomposición moral, de una triste composición contra la que debemos alzar la voz, y no solo el silencio, la mirada interior, la connivencia, para desatar nueva luz, nueva energía, nueva mirada hacia otra mejor existencia.

La lista de poetas que al amor le han cantado es una auténtica locura. Y además irá a más. No siempre se tiene la razón, ni falta que hace. En algunos momentos de la vida, las razones del corazón no las comprendemos y sentimos que lo que importa no es lo que no tuvimos, es lo que no nos enseñaron. Las cosas que se tienen, se pierden, y el tiempo casi nunca logra desgastarnos lo que se ha conocido. Escribí este poemario para dar respuesta a dos preguntas del poeta Ismael López Gálvez, ¿podemos los poetas escribir aún sobre el amor? ¿Y cómo? La razón perdida es un homenaje ...

"BARBAR [Tavshedens objekt]" er en digtsamling om brutalitet. Amina Elmi skriver om at leve med en kappet forbindelse til sin families historie, ritualer, sprog og identitet. I sine digte forsøger hun at etablere en forbindelse til alt det tabte, men tavsheden står som et tomt centrum – alt det, der ikke kan siges, fordi der ikke findes et sprog for det, eller fordi det er for smertefuldt. Det er digte om tavshed som både nødvendighed og vold. Amina Elmi (f. 1994) bliver uddannet fra Forfatterskolen til sommer. "BARBAR [Tavshedens objekt]" er hendes debut.

Beginning with several dozen new poems that have appeared in The New Yorker, among other publications, this volume is a tour through Cynthia Zarin’s five exquisitely made collections, beginning with The Swordfish Tooth, published in 1989. Zarin, a poet in the line of Elizabeth Bishop, allows the listener to experience human truths through a poem's shape and music, bodied forth through intimate images—the turn in the stair, a snow globe, naked birch branches, a vase of flowers—and a propulsive syntax.
